[QUOTE="Coyote_Hunter, post: 1762035, member: 110773"] Took a new Remington M700 .30-06 elk hunting for the first time. Coming down the NE corner of Bears Ears mountain I took three separate falls in the boulder field - lucky I didn't break an ankle or leg. Got to the bottom and my 'new' M700 looked worse than the Ruger 7mm RM I had hunted elk with for over 20 years at the time. A safe queen it is not. Had one of those (a Ruger #1 in .280 Rem that was just too pretty to take elk hunting. Sold it and bout a Hawkeye All Weather .280 Rem instead. No regrets. [/QUOTE]
